THE CLEARING.
- One-on-one coaching with Matt
There is a moment — and you will know it — when the life you have built starts asking something of you that strategy cannot answer.
Not a problem. A reckoning, a summons if you like.
You have run hard. Built things. Held things together for others. And somewhere in all of that, you lost contact with something quieter. A sense of your own direction. The feeling of being genuinely alive in your own life.
The Clearing is where that gets addressed.
How I work
I walk alongside people. That is the whole of it.
I bring more than twenty years of building — a company, a cooperative, a social enterprise founded and sold. And the long interior work that had to follow. Training in integral coaching through New Ventures West, San Francisco. Years of somatic practice and open floor dance. Three children raised as a married man, and now a solo dad.
I have been lost, and I continue to find my ground. I know the difference.
Where possible we begin on the land here at Rivenwood — in the bush, around the fire, in the garden. The land will do something with you before the words. Something settles. What is actually true starts to surface. Then we continue, fortnightly, held over time.
The agenda is always yours. I follow what is alive with you, however and with whatever you show up with, we begin there.
Who do I work with?
Men and women at a threshold. Founders who have built something real and find themselves hollowed out by it. People moving through transition — after a sale, a separation, a success that left them strangely empty. Those who sense that the next season of their life asks something the last one didn't prepare them for.
You do not need to arrive with clarity. You need only to arrive.
The offerings
A Session in the Clearing A single 90-minute session — on the land at Rivenwood, or via Zoom. Something shifts. You leave with something you didn't have before. $165 — redeemable against Walking in the Clearing
Walking in the Clearing Three months. We open with a day on the land. Then six fortnightly sessions on Zoom — a beginning, a middle, and an end. Long enough for something to actually change. $1,650
